Closing the Achievement Gap in the New Curriculum

Course date: 5th Jun 2024

The Minister for Education and Skills has acknowledged that high quality CPD for teachers and teaching assistants can break the link between educational attainment and poverty. Research is unequivocal that classroom level approaches shown to be particularly effective at raising the attainment of children living in low-income households combine: quality literacy/oracy teaching, positive learning environments, peer tutoring; formative assessment and feedback; structured group work/cooperative learning; and meta-cognitive strategies as well as high levels of teacher commitment and resilience.

This one-day practical programme, led by Huw Duggan (Former strategic advisor for closing the gap), will focus on ‘why’ and ‘how’ to close the achievement gap in the classroom.

£210.00 + VAT (20%)

Target Group: All Teachers, Head Teachers, senior leaders

This course will consider:

The imperatives of high aspirations and challenging learning culture
The impact of effective curriculum design, experiential and purpose-based learning.
Assessment IN Learning as means to accelerate pupil progress
How to structure effective collaborative learning
What high quality peer assessment looks like
Examples of metacognitive strategies that can build pupils' self-esteem and Independence.

This course is for teachers, senior leaders and head teachers. Whilst this course has a focus on classroom practice and pedagogy, it should be considered in the light of the schools wider focus to develop a strategic approach to closing the gap.
